Description
The stable commutator length is obtained from stabilising the Commutator length.
Definition
Let be a group and its Commutator group. For a we define the stable commutator length as
Characterisation by translation length
Let be a group and the Cayley-Graph of the Commutator group with generator set the commutators. Take a . The translation length of an element is defined as for an arbitrary . Then the following holds:
